### Cadre de pilot #1 — Anonim · Rade Street (0 voturi)

- **Domeniu de aplicare:** Pilot the improved workflow at the flagship store across billing, customer record capture, and daily checkout control.
- **Durată:** A 4- to 6-week pilot is appropriate for one store checkout workflow with daily performance review.
- **KPI-uri sugerate:** Track average billing time, percentage of transactions processed digitally, rate of billing discrepancies, and percentage of transactions linked to customer records.
- **Criterii de succes:** The pilot succeeds if manual billing is removed from routine checkout, transaction control improves, and store staff can process customers faster with fewer unexplained losses.
